the Venetian mask by summerfield

the Venetian mask

on her second year of appearance on 365's flash of red. she says hello. i'm really taken with this mask, i think it's quite beautiful. it's too bad i no longer attend those white balls or masked balls. i still get the invites from former clients, but i have lost my appetite to mingle with people.

just this morning, i was talking to one of our lawyers whom i haven't seen in quite a while. he commented that i must be enjoying this aftermath of the pandemic in that we only have to show our faces at the office at least twice a week and that on the fridays that i come there's almost no one around. i seemed to be happier when i'm by myself. i told him that even though i appear to love company, i actually prefer to be by myself, that i am most happy when i'm alone. but i told him that i do get my dose of socializing at church and on thursdays online. he raised his eyebrows. online? and i proceeded to tell him about my pigger friends. he's never heard of pig mania or pass the pigs. then i had to explain to him how the games work. his last remark to me was "i don't think you'll ever miss us or this office when you retire!" i was going to tell him i would miss him because he's always kind to me, but i refrained lest he would think i have a thing for him. he's gay after all.
A great mask! I had no idea you actually wore this for special occasions.
You could tell him that you are retiring to something not from something.

Your mask is beautiful, and your composition to show only a portion of it makes it so artistic!

Great mask and story. I can totally relate to being alone with just Melody and I

Nice mask…. And nicely composed image! I’m with you on preferring space around me…. I go into the office a lot and get a little stressed when it’s actually full 🙄 (although I do like interacting with folks in person if it’s just one or two other people)

Great mask and composition here.Trying to imagine you at a masked ball! I can relate to getting work done when alone in the office (when I was still working in an office). I agree with @randystreat and @30pics4jackiesdiamond regarding retirement.
